Now, confirming a report in the Telegraph last night, a triple embargo has been revealed on the Embargo Reporting Service’s page, with the latest in regards to money owed to other clubs… Regulation 52.2.3 non-payment of transfer fees.
Steve Bruce shares how additions from Sheffield Wednesday and Stockport County could be the difference for Blackpool
Steve Bruce states it was important for Blackpool to add experience to their defence this summer – and now believes there’s a good blend in the back four.
The Seasiders started their business last month with the additions of Fraser Horsfall and Michael Ihiekwe on free transfers after the conclusion of their contracts with Stockport County and Sheffield Wednesday respectively.
The latter of the two knows what it takes to win promotion from League One, having done it four times across his stints with the Owls and Rotherham United
Meanwhile, Horsfall was part of the Stockport team that secured a top six finish in their first campaign back in the third tier last season.
The arrival of the pair is a contrast to the signings made in that area last summer, with loanees Odel Offiah and Elkan Baggott, alongside Zac Ashworth, being youthful additions.
“In defensive areas it’s good to have experience – we were a little bit too young last season,” Bruce explained.
“When you get young loan players in, the one thing they’re going to make is mistakes because they’re learning their job.
“Odel (Offiah) did fantastically well, and so did young Harry (Tyrer) from Everton – you’ve seen them develop over the season.
“This year, I think we just needed a bit of experience and know-how, and we’ve got that in abundance with the two of them – they’re really good players at this level. It’s a good blend, I’m delighted we’ve got them.”
